DSD Sales Software For Orders Placed Ahead.

Stop building tomorrow's load from guesswork. Your stores and kitchens speak their order into the app the night before, so the load matches what accounts asked for, item by item.

Sound Familiar?

The order gets written at the stop. The product is on the shelf back home.

On a DSD run, the order and the load get decided hours apart. When the first one is a guess, the second one is wrong:

"We loaded for last week"

Nobody knew what the stores wanted, so the truck went out on an average and came back carrying half of it.
Integration icon

"It is on a pad in the cab"

Handwritten at the counter, keyed in that evening if the driver remembers. One digit out and the next delivery is short.
Integration icon

"The manager was not in"

Whoever can say what to order is off shift when the driver calls, so you get whatever the closer guessed at.

What DSD sales software has to fix between stops

Ordered The Night Before

A DSD sales app the store manager uses, not the driver.

The person who knows the shelf is the one holding the phone. They talk through their list after close, check it on screen, and send it. By morning your team is loading against stated orders rather than a pattern from last month.
Spoken from the guide you loaded for that account
Sent at 11pm if that is when the shift ends
Read back on screen before it leaves their hands
Confirmed by an alert or a text
How orders get off the telephone
Right Product On The Truck

Load against orders you can count.

This is the point of DSD sales software for a small delivery business: knowing the day's demand before the truck is packed. Orders land with the account and the items on them, and your own stock view moves with the ordering, so the two sit together before anything is loaded. Mobile direct store delivery software helps the driver, but it cannot fix an order nobody placed yet.

Where VOS Stops

The intake layer, not the truck layer.

Be clear on the boundary before you buy. If you need DSD route sales software to settle van stock, print an invoice at the counter or capture a signature, that is route accounting and VOS is not it. What VOS does is put a complete, confirmed order in front of all of that.
Orders arrive matched to your SKUs, ready for whoever processes them
Delivered into your systems in the format you choose
Runs beside whatever route tool or ERP you have now
No route building, settlement or signature capture in VOS
What this does for your pickers
Sized For Your Operation

Direct store delivery software for small business, not a rollout.

A five-truck operation cannot carry a twelve-month implementation. You send us the guides your stops buy from, we do the loading and the account setup, and your customers download an app they already know how to talk to.

A Record For Anything Sent

Anything sent through the app carries its own number, plus the day and minute it went, filed against the store it came from. Disputes get settled by looking.

A Guide For Every Store

Each store orders from its own item list at its own prices, so a banner site and an independent are not sharing a catalog.

Back Office Gets It Clean

Orders arrive itemized and coded, so your office processes them instead of deciphering a pad from the cab.

Simple Setup

Running before your next delivery week

No handhelds to order, no training week, no change to how the trucks get loaded until the orders start arriving.
1

Send the guides for your stops

What each store buys, at the price you give them, with your item codes. A spreadsheet per account is plenty.
2

We open each account

The loading and the setup are on us. Most distributors go live inside 24 to 48 hours of handing it over.
3

Stores order, you load to it

Your office receives them in whichever shape you chose. Most accounts send their first one the day they are set up.

Delivery Formats

Orders go out in the formats distributors already use

Each order leaves VOS as an email with a PDF, Excel or Word file, an EDI or API feed, or a QuickBooks entry. No one has to switch software to receive it.

Why VoiceOrder Solutions

The order, not the truck.
Know which one you are buying.

Plenty of DSD sales software is really route accounting: settling van stock, printing invoices at the counter. VOS sits upstream of all that, and the table below says where it stops.

FAQ

DSD questions, answered plainly

What does DSD sales software mean here, exactly?
In our case it means one job: your direct store delivery accounts place their orders themselves, by voice, in an app, before the truck is loaded. The term gets used for everything from route settlement to merchandising audits, so it is worth pinning down. We do the ordering end and nothing past the loading bay.
Is this a replacement for our route accounting system?
No. Route accounting handles van inventory, settlement, counter invoicing and driver reconciliation, and none of that is in VOS. Keep the system you have. VOS feeds it orders that were already confirmed by the customer, so your office starts from something clean.
Can drivers use it at the stop?
It is designed for the account to use, not the driver, and that is the point of running DSD sales software this way. The manager who walks the shelves speaks the order on their own phone, at a time that suits them. If a store genuinely cannot do that, keep taking those orders however you do today.
Do we need to give our stores tablets or scanners?
No. The app runs on iPhone and Android, on phones store staff already have. There is no barcode scanning, no printer and no device program to budget for, which is usually the thing that stalls a DSD technology project.
How do orders reach our office and our ERP?
You pick one route at onboarding: a PDF, Excel or Word attachment, EDI, QuickBooks, or an API hook into the system behind your office. Pick EDI, the API or QuickBooks as the route and nobody keys the order again. An emailed file may still be entered by hand on your side.
Does it tell us what to put on each truck?
Not as an instruction, no. What it gives you is the orders themselves, each with the account, the items and the time it was sent, plus a stock view drawn from the tools you have. The loading decision stays with your team, which is where the local knowledge is.
We run five trucks. Is that too small?
That is the size VOS was designed around. DSD operations and independents of that size are the buyers we serve, and there is no IT project, no implementation team and no enterprise contract. We quote per distributor.
What about accounts that will never use an app?
Some stores will keep calling, and that is fine. Those orders get written up as they are now, and they carry no number or stamp from us. The gain comes from the accounts that do switch, which is usually the ones ordering two or three times a week.
